We are excited to announce the launch of our new Campaign Manager, the tool that enables you to manage and optimise your Sponsored Updates and Text Ads on LinkedIn.

We’ve completely re-designed and rebuilt the LinkedIn Campaign Manager to provide our customers more control and visibility over their LinkedIn campaigns. You’ll notice many of the changes immediately, like the new look and feel, but it’s also important to note the major technological enhancements behind the scenes, giving us a new foundation upon which to build more features and capabilities in the future. As of this morning, many of our advertisers have access to the new version of the tool, and we expect to enable all advertisers in the coming weeks, so if you don’t have access yet, please stay tuned!

In addition to the new look and feel, the new Campaign Manager has several new features designed to help you meet your advertising goals on LinkedIn:

Campaign search, so you can easily find the campaigns you’re looking for

Dynamic visual reporting that re-calculates and displays only data that satisfies your search or filter settings

A detailed breakout of social actions related to your Sponsored Updates campaigns, including Likes, Shares, Comments, and Follows

Audience insights that enable you to see a detailed view of the demographic categories of LinkedIn members clicking on your ads, available at the account, campaign and creative level

Campaign start date, which now allows you to schedule your campaigns to launch in the future

The ability to post rich media (e.g. image files, documents) for Direct Sponsored Content, so you can more easily test and optimise engaging images in your Sponsored Updates campaigns

An account overview page that makes it easier to locate and access multiple advertising accounts

Once you have access, log in to the Campaign Manager at linkedin.com/ads/home. You’ll be prompted to opt-in to the new version so you can experience these enhancements for yourself. We’d love to hear what you think, so please provide feedback using the link at the bottom of each page. Also, for those of you looking for even more advanced functionality and flexibility, LinkedIn has Certified Marketing Partners that provide even more capabilities and flexibility to help you meet your goals.
